Yahoo!'s Corporate Language

This is totally true. I blogged about this earlier, its amazing to see how these companies and cons try to weave their way out of grilling by such statements!

I am continually in anthropological awe at large organizations and the people who work there. Today's example: This bit of opacity from a Yahoo spokesthingie in response to a NYT reporter asking whether Yahoo could confirm rumored plans to shut down the popular Delicious service, among other things:

Part of our organizational streamlining involves cutting our investment in underperforming or off-strategy products to put better focus on our core strengths and fund new innovation in the next year and beyond. We continuously evaluate and prioritize our portfolio of products and services, and do plan to shut down some products in the coming months such as Yahoo Buzz, our Traffic APIs, and others. We will communicate specific plans when appropriate. I'll take that as a Yes.
